The Data Center Debate - The need for more transparency and local control

Kim Georgeton, digital commerce and salesforce consulting expert, has researched the data center mania - why they are here in Ohio in the Midwest and why they are popping all over the state. Kim has been researching the concerns of residents of local communities concerning water usage, power grid usage, and why there seems to be a disregard for local citizens when it comes to the placement and construction of the new data centers. Kim wrote a letter to the EPA with the concerns from local residents, urged others to do the same, and as a result, the Ohio EPA has made an announcement that they will not be granting a blanket permit to all data centers to discharge waste coolant water from their facilities, but that each data center will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
